By the time you read this our site is on a new server....it should be faster and more reliable, not that it was to bad before.

I have noticed that we have about 3GB of pictures sitting on the server from this forum, I will need to make some changes to posting options and also may need to remove some files....unfortunately we just don't get enough donations to keep all this stuff going.

There is also a lot of rubbish ie things that dont mater any more. The purging is one post at a time.Im talking to Francesco about the way to sort this but it is a long process and help might get called for at some point.Also a good time to remind people about the donate button if you havnt donated in a while

Whos running all the management for the server itself? Like the back end. I don't mind helping with that, or having a look and seeing where useful changes can be made. IE: backups can be scripted so you aren't paying for them. SQL mirroring to an offsite backup

This might be a costly exercise, but how hard would it be to setup a system where any size photo could be uploaded and it gets automatically resized to a specific size setup by the admin and also, more importantly it strips all unneeded information such as gps location (geo data), date taken etc. This is what trademe and most of the bigger sites do.

Im also on spiritburner.com and they have just implemented this but at a cost. They run a subscription to get into some forums so have a reliable source of income unlike here which relies on donations which only come to a fraction of the costs.
